I'm still relatively new to the whole RenPY engine and community itself but I wanted say hi and to share with you my new Visual Novel. I've always been a fan of visual novels and dating sims. (I even used to play those dating sims on New Grounds like YEARS ago! lol)

Right now I've been watching alot of CLANNAD (google it. I am in love with the series!) and so this game is kinda like my Ode to the series. Its an anime based off of Key's (<- company name I think) PC visual novel. So you may notice some similarities but I tried to change up the story enough...and now I believe the characters and plot have thier unique charm and have come of their own.

This is a BL (Boy Chases Boy) Visual Novel but it was designed to also be believable from a female player's perspective (Girl Chases Boy). **Rated:Teen** This game does not contain any hentai/yaoi. Its geared more towards the romantic side.

It all sounded really good when you said it was like Clannad and Key and I was getting all excited... But then you said there was BL and now I'm too scared to download the thing. Umm... Just how much BL? o_o;

Ah hahaha no worries Ms.Fan. I didn't want it to completely alienate all the non-BL lovers out there. As a str8 girl you can play the game prolly and with a tiny bit of imagination (seriously just a tiny bit. lol) you'll feel like your playing a Girl pursues Boy game. Just think of it as being in a "Harem" anime cept your the solitary single female with guys all vying for your attention.

Just pretend Okazaki (You) are a girl and Fuko, Kyou, Nagisa, Kotomi, and Tomoyo have become their male equivalents.

There is no real smut or terribly degrading fanservice stuff. I think any girl would find it pretty tasteful still. Hope you enjoy it! tell me wut you think ok? I'd be honored. =)

Aww... there's no ending for Jaja? He was so adorable! I was like, "I LIKE-LIKE YOU TOO WHERE'S THE OPTION" but then I realized that that would've been a little... XDD;

I've gotten the Coach Ending (lmao, that was so scary!) my first playthrough, and then I got one of Sato's Endings. I was a little scared of Marlain when I first saw him, since he had such wide, child-bearing hips and beautiful nails, too. My head was screaming "BISHOUJO!" instead of "BISHOUNEN!" when he appeared. XD;

I really liked the music, and I liked the characters, too! Keeves's appearance and Polar's extremely ripped abs scared me, though, and Jaja's speech was a little hard to understand at first, but then I got used to it. :D I enjoyed playing it.

Will give feedback after I'm done The screenshots intrigued me. Has a Dragon Ball Z feel to it o.o;;;; (maybe it's just that football jock with the six packs).

edit: Oh poor Mac users like me You planning on releasing the Mac and Linux versions of the game as well?

Awww, yeah play it and let me know wut you think renkenjutsu. So you're a mac user huh? C the thing is I started working on "Dream Savior Gakuen" while I was in Philippines as a side project on my cousins computer. When I got back I realized I didn't have enuff space on my flashdrive and could only bring home 1 version. So I opted for the PC version.

Ah hahaha! You got the joke ending at 1st?! Sorry about that..I know that was kinda weird Akemicchi. Thing is its kinda hard to get that ending so...maybe ur lucky? lol.

The music is mostly from the CLANNAD OST although I tried to give every guy their own theme song sorta. Im glad you enjoyed it tho *WHoo hOo!*. Just outta curiousity after playing meeting all the characters who were you *trying* to hookup with? (Oh ya and not to spoil anything but you cant hook up with Jaja...Shota is CREEPY! xD )

Welcome to insanity-land, illuminate001. I'm glad to hear that you survived your Newgrounds experiences without saying, "That was such fanboy trash. I never want to think about it again." (I discovered Tales of Lemma just weeks before I found their Eva and Love Hina fangames. If the opposite had been true, I might've been filled with despair.)

If you read the Clannad ren'ai game review on Ex-Fansubber (http://www.minaidehazukashii.com/hinano), you'll hear that in the actual game, the writers were constantly giving shout-outs to female fans.

Yeah 4 real. I went on Newgrounds and was playing this dating sim. I was doin AWESUM at it! (I remembered her sign and beat up her ex boyfriend. lol) Then I think I got the good ending and subjected to...uh...yeah...and I was only 14 at the time! I thought I was going to see bubbles and sparkles and roses sorta deal. I was pretty "WHOA'd" out so i havent been on NEW Grounds since.

I'm sorry, but an exception occured while executing your Ren'Py
script.
Myuuuuu ;_; Nice game though :) Really high quality. Though I don't think I like the use of copyrighted songs in it, but that's just me.
p/s: I kept my sanity by putting my name as Miria while playing the game. The mindset served me well :P[/quote]
Ok well I checked the error (Thanks for reporting it btw Renken!) but I couldn't find anything wrong with line 2646. Theres no real event or coding that shoulda caused that error. Are you running the windows version on a mac?
Good news it if you were I just put up the mac version for dwnld on my website. Lemme know how it works out for ya!
PS. About the music thing...i know, if i could compose stuff myself I would lol. But I figured since this was dedicated to CLANNAD and I used their OST anyways that it be best just to go on with it and credit everyone at the end.

That was a really nice game! *applauds*
I wish the character changed emotions, thou... Still the art was really nice! =D
I grew to like all the characters, even if in the beggining they kind of irked me XD;

Woaahh... Too much BL for me. *hides under blankets* It looks pretty good, but what I have of my masculinity prevents me from playing this with a straight face. XD But can I mirror it on the Renai Archives just the same?
